Summary
Jimbo rustles up Duncan Alexander, Colin Millar and Sasha Goryunov for some forensic analysis on the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup.
It’s time to talk about the state of Man United as they get knocked out of Europe by Atletico. And there’s an abundance of difficult to beat Spanish sides with good knock-out coaches in the quarter-finals. Also, could the lack of the away goals rule lead to ties at neutral venues?
Liverpool are 2-0 winners at Arsenal to close the gap on the leaders to one point. Find out why City and Liverpool could be set up for a baseball schedule and why Villa v Arsenal is the Gunners’ biggest game of the season.
Matt Davies-Adams helps us preview the FA Cup quarter-finals, with the Championship’s form team Forest taking on Liverpool while Middlesbrough look to conquer Tuchel’s Chelsea.
Plus sailing, the Seagulls and squeaky bum time.
